File Affiliation
File Affiliation is a distinct setting within the Dell Hybrid Client, in which you can restrict the user's ability to access files
depending on the mode that is active. Use Wyse Management Suite to configure the File Afflilation settings. This feature is
applicable to both device policy groups and user policy groups. In the Cloud mode, the client shows applications that are
supported by Cloud services. In the Local mode, the client shows the local applications that are installed and configured using
Wyse Management Suite. In the VDI mode, the client shows VDI-published applications. In the offline mode, the system shows
the tools and applications that operate on the cached files. On the same device, you can configure different modes for different
users using User Policy Groups.
You can enable one of the following modes using Wyse Management Suite:
● Cloud
● Cloud + Local
● VDI
● VDI + Local
● Cloud + VDI + Local
Dell Hybrid Client version 1.5 supports the Open with function that enables end-users to choose an application to open a file in
Dell File Explorer. See, Using Dell File Explorer.
NOTE:
If File Affiliation is undefined, the file opens locally provided the local mapping is valid. If the local mapping is not
available, you cannot open the application and an error message is displayed.
Configure the Cloud Mode
Use the Cloud Mode to enable all your files to open only on the cloud. If cloud is configured, the data roaming feature is enabled
automatically.
